FREDERICK WM. DERBYSHIR-E, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

METHOD OF MAKING ORNAMENTAL PERFORATED DESIGNS.

Patented Aug. 22, 1911.

Serial No. 492,190.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnnnnnrcn 1V. DERI3Y- sm'nn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a Method of Malcing Ornamental Perforated Designs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to process for making ornamental perforated designs and its object is to provide a process whereby the same perforating machine may be utilized to punch out a large number of ornamental designs from flat articles such as celluloid, paper, etc.

My invention consists of the method hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view showing a sheet perforated in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the design produced by the pcril'oratimis shown in Fig. 1.

In the preferred method of procedure sheet 1, which may be of celluloid, paper or any other perforatable material, is first perforated in some uniform design. In the instance illustrated the perforating machine is first set to produce the perforations 2 in the uniform design of right angled columns and rows, indicated in Fig. 1. Then the perfo *ating machine is reset so as to produce the perforations 3 as shown in Fig. 1, the perforations 3 being distinguished from perforations 2 by being made with slightly heavier lines. It will be seen that the punches of the perforating machine have been so set as to produce perforations between the perforations 2 in such manner as to stamp out or detach a portion of sheet 1 in the form of a cross 4;, with serrated or scalloped edges.

13y resetting the punches in the machine in different arrangements different ornamental dcsigns may be produced from the same machine by merely resetting the punches. thus saving the cost of making a new die for the production of each different design desired.

\Vhile l have described the preferred steps for carrying my invention into effect, these may be varied somewhat while still coming within the scope of the amiended claim.

:llaving described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters '?atent is:

The method of making ornamental dc signs which consists first, in perforating a sheet from which the design is to be made with a die having a plurality of punches arranged at regular spaced intervals, and second, further perforating the sheet with a die having a plurality of punches arranged to remove portions of the material between certain of the predetermined perforations first formed, whereby a design of the desired shape is severed from the remainder of the sheet.

In testin'iony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
